Snowbird Ski Resort Hosts Benefit for Cancer Wellness House

With a rising skin cancer rate that is among the highest in the
nation, building awareness for Utah’s fight against cancer is more
important than ever. Snowbird Ski & Summer Resort will host the 13th annual Survivors at the Summit event this Saturday to benefit the Cancer Wellness House.
The fundraising and awareness celebration is a day dedicated to
recognizing the courage and determination of those affected by cancer.

The Survivors at the Summit celebration begins with a pancake
breakfast on the Snowbird Center Plaza Deck Saturday morning, followed
by a Journeys hike or Tram ride to Hidden Peak. The 3.5-mile Journeys
hike represents the challenges and personal summits faced in the fight
against cancer. Upon reaching 11,000 feet, hikers will be met by a sea
of yellow flags bearing names high atop Hidden Peak during the
Celebration of Life ceremony.

The pancake breakfast is $4 per person and there will be giveaway
with tickets for sale for $3 per ticket or five for $10. All proceeds
go to the Cancer Wellness House. To access the pancake breakfast and
Hidden Peak hike take Little Cottonwood Road to Snowbird Entry 2.

The Cancer Wellness House is a non-profit organization offering free
programs, educational resources and wellness groups to anyone whose
life has been affected by cancer. To register, purchase flags or find
